I once found myself in the rat poison isle of a Lawson in Tokyo a couple years ago thinking they were all tasty snacks. Wasn’t until I noticed the tiny little icon in the corner I figured out it wasn’t junk food I was looking at. Packaging design is very cultural, and being less than fluent in a foreign place can have some wild outcomes if you’re not careful…

You've got to share some photos.

This was a different store (didn't happen to take a pic of the exact rat poison in question), but similar vibe: https://imgur.com/a/hMitwfd

Also including this since it's just the weirdest mouse trap packaging I've ever seen: https://imgur.com/a/xBJZw5p

It's honestly a miracle I was there for nine days and didn't get myself poisoned even once
